Math: Our new topic is, Topic 12, Measurement. Our math words to use are: longer than, shorter than, as tall as, taller than, lighter than.  Our Topic Essential Question is: How can objects be compared by length, height, capacity, and weight?

 Reading: Our new story is On the Move and it is a book that we will use to focus on the main idea of the story.  We will discuss how people in different parts of the world travel.  Our amazing words include: travel, kayak, llama, dogsled, double decker bus, submarine.

Handwriting/Writing:  Our sentence dictation is going nicely!   We write using CVC words, sight words, and other common words.  We stay on topic and our illustration matches our writing!  We will be reviewing our numbers 0-10 and working on writing words and sentences with our lowercase letters.

***Please continue to review all letters, sounds, numbers, counting patterns, as well as sight words.  Also, please continue to read each night and complete the AR book log as the goal is at least 15 books a month.
